Understanding My Value

I met a man last night. In the course of our time together, he told me that I was gold selling for copper.

The meaning was, I'm worthy, and do not need to prove myself to others. That phrase has been going through my mind ever since I heard it.

I've never felt as though I needed to justify myself. Perhaps I do, though. I've been mulling this over since he told me. Maybe it was a line? But if there is even a hint of validity to it, then perhaps I am not as confident as I thought. It has definitely given me something to ponder.

You must realize that your life and mood is determined by your thoughts, and you have complete control over that. Things happen in life that you cannot predict or control, but you absolutely can decide how to respond. From dating to family to weight loss, your mindset determines your fate.

My bags were packed. I had everything ready to go. Everything was sold and all the bills were paid. I was flying out on Tuesday.

After an unexpected call from Washington, DC late yesterday afternoon, everything is suddenly on hold. I was shocked and have been processing the news ever since.

I now have to make some decisions. I am happy to have a few more weeks to spend with my loved ones, but I cannot do this for long.

I am thinking that I can afford one delay, but if this drags out too long, I will need to make some new plans. I will need to look into work, a vehicle, a place to stay.

I have not been blogging about my Peace Corps experience for a bit. There were several reasons for this.

The decision to join the Peace Corps and go to Mozambique has been a deeply personal one, that has elicited conflicting responses from friends and family. I would be lying if I said that I have not had second and third thoughts about this. I am leaving my life for 27 months, and at this point, I am down to the final stages.

My bags are packed, my tickets are booked, my belongings have been sold or donated, and I am taking my last visit with my friends and family. It still seems surreal.

Another reason that I have been quiet lately is that I have been giving thought to just how much social media I want "out there" when I am leaving the country. I have closed all of my social media accounts except Facebook, and that is only because of my family and friends. I have seriously blocked down what I share. Perhaps I am doing this out of an overabundance of caution, but I'd r…
